OP's irrational and unreasonable behaviour cannot be denied. Although if Nel pushes this point too far, it could add credence to OP's statement as to why he acted the way he did. I'm not that sure this really helps the prosecution case with the charge of murder with intent.Nel wants to show OP's fears of break-ins were irrational, unreasonable. A small point, the other day I stumbled on a statistical web for SA crime figures and even though break-ins were high, apparently more in specific areas, there were incredibly few injuries or deaths related to burglaries.
YesDid Nel say he was going to call another witness?

You mean as in Playboy Bunnies? :floorlaugh:So this "shooting rabbits" thing is in the house and he carries them and takes photos of them when he goes out - so can it mean photos of other women?

Enough with the rabbits....already![]()
So it's just his word. Doesn't seem that bothered about 'multiple' crimes against him if he never bothered to report them.Nel wants lunch.
That state witness was a waste, I think. Sorry.
All we have learned it seems is that OP is going to claim he was a victim of multiple crimes, which he never bothered to report.

Grrr....we are not an inch nearer knowing anything more about what happened in the house that night. Except OP was surfing when supposedly asleep, I think?
OW yesterday tried to convince us a witness was asleep when she looked out of her window, so I suppose it's possible they'll argue their client can surf the net in his....
THAT point was explained. The phone goes off accessing the internet all by itself. Doing updates, checking for mail etc. The GPRS events are not actually somebody using the phone, surfing the net etc.Grrr....we are not an inch nearer knowing anything more about what happened in the house that night.

BBMIt definitely shows that he didn't report any alleged crimes against him. That's a score.
But mental things like paranoia and hypochondria don't typically respond to statistics and probabilities. They're called irrational for a reason and could have other deep seeded causes. That his estate was a low crime area does not negate that he could have had a an unreasonable and overwhelming fear of being victimized. There's evidence showing this is a distinct possibility, actually.
It does appear from the msgs that Reeva and OP were lovey dovey days before the shooting, had arranged to spend time together, and were okay as Reeva and OP headed to the house too.
That it all went wrong just inside the house, night of Feb 14?
